Light Bomber Idea - Grumblesaur - 04-19-2009
' Wrote:We alrready have the light bomber concept presented for the Rogues and Mollies, called a Warewolf. 2 class 10 guns, 3 class 9 guns, a torp slot and a CD slot. mount a MR on it.
a light bomber, imho, would be more like a bomber with the same loadout of 4 guns and 2 slots, but a smaller pp so you can fire two MRs at the same time, but not a SN.
Actually, it's 4 Class 10 guns, 1 class 9 gun, 1 forward-faced Class 5 turret, 1 CD, 1 CD/Torp, 1 Mine, class 10 Fighter shield, 1 CM, and the heaviest VHF plant.
Not to mention roughly 13500 base armor.

Isn't the Catamaran (both varieties) basically this?

What catamaran? There is no such ship!

o_O I fail? Awww, I fail.:(
In all seriousness though, that ship does exist, right?
Also, isn't the GC bomber basically a "light bomber"?

Yes, the GC bomber, and Red cat are very, very light bombers... And very overpowered.

One thing I haven't tried... Can a Werewolf use a Nova or SuperNova?

Have any of you even been to Kusari since 4.85 came out? The Catamaran was replaced by a new bomber, one that most definitely is not the same.
Werewolf cannot use nova or SN.

I thought there was 1 Class 9. I fly one as well. Meh...
No it can't. MAYBE a Nova, but I have no clue. Haven't tried it.

Orchid? Light bomber? Not when it's roughtly two to three times wider than the Barghest... Though now that you meantion it, the LN in Conn. accused me of only flying and Orchid cause it's quick or something. News to me... I've only flown it like, three times.

17500 base armour. 43,750 with an armour 8 upgrade. And no, it cannot fire a Nova Torpedo, I just tested it in OpenSP.

The GC bomber is rightfully classed as a light bomber, with a 38k powerplant and low armor.
